The angry moment that could define Jacinta Allan’s response to the fire disaster If we think of voter grievance as fuel on the forest floor, there is a point in any long-term government where the build-up reaches combustive levels.

Chip Le Grande's constant attacks on the ALP, particularly state, are increasingly unhinged. He's incapable of writing without bias. I expect better from the leader of the state politics reporting team. Comments on this story are very telling. #Auspol #SpringSt

Sloppy from The Age. This is The Spotted Cat in New Orleans NOT The Night Cat in Fitzroy that they are referencing. Does anyone check anything anymore?

Sarah made the point that she would be fact checking for the viewers. Should fill a whole episode.

I almost feel sorry for Susssan Ley after that interview. Shredded by Sarah Ferguson and rightly so. Utterly unable to articulate the LNP β€˜policy’.

The first story I did for Crikey back in 2021 was reporting on a leaked neo-nazi manual showing how "media baiting" β€”Β aka tricking journalists into writing about them β€”Β was a major strategy for them.

She said β€˜literally so performative’ without the slightest hint of self awareness. Marvellous work.

What Mark Dreyfus' Parliamentary Address Reveals About Tim Wilson's Campaign Conduct How to Lobby for Change: Engaging Parliamentary Committees to Reform Our Democracy By Sue Barrett When a seasoned politician like Mark Dreyfus, Australia’s former Attorney-General and a parliamentaria...

Tim Wilson's appalling campaign behaviour: verbal abuse of volunteers, threats of extreme violence, death threats against opposition candidates, not condemning them, vandalism & intimidation, β€œstandover tactics at post-election scrutineering, misogynistic slurs, and stalking!

Maybe that’s why you only have 6 and a half members of parliament.

Alright so criticising a woman for, I dunno, pretending to not know her husband donated $50k to a far right organisation is misogynistic. Bit like criticising Israel is anti-semitic. Nice one Labor government.
